Visit the town of Guptkashi, home to the famous Vishwanath Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva and considered holy in Hinduism. Later, visit the sacred Triyuginarayan Temple, which is a popular pilgrimage site for Hindu devotees. The place holds precisely significant value in the Ramayana Epic.
End your trip by visiting the quaint town of Gaurikund. The town is famous as the starting point of the trek to Kedarnath temple. The temple of Gauri, who is said to be the wife of Lord Shiva, attracts a lot of worshippers. Its natural hot springs are also a popular attraction here.
To enhance the cultural experience, attend the aarti ceremony at Kedarnath Temple. We suggest you carry a light pack with water, snacks, and trekking essentials during the Vasuki Tal trek. Moreover, check the weather forecast before making a trip, especially during monsoon season (July-August). If you have extra time, you may visit the nearby places of Badrinath and Yamunotri. However, plan your trip considering the travel restrictions and dates of opening/closing due to COVID-19 concerns.
